> Before COD this was the game we all **went around our friends’ houses to play**.

That’s the best part of this whole article, such memories.

Good job on taking on the challenge, I did as well and it’s extremely hard to even try and create these kinds of lists.

I totally agree with GoldenEye and Gran Turismo (any of them), but the others aren’t my taste really. I’d choose PES over FIFA any day (except for last year, hehe).

When it comes to CoD I just tend to fallback on Counter-Strike instead but that’s probably cause that’s the first online FPS *I* played a lot.

I don’t allow comments at the moment but I’m available on Twitter if there’s anything you have an opinion on

Thanks for the reply. They took up a lot of my time growing up as a kid so it was pretty fun making the list!

I feel like doing one for films and music now…

Id agree pretty much with your list , but for me gaming started earlier my earliest fave games where ‘Roland on the ropes’ ‘Fruit machine’ and ‘Harrier Attack!’ all on the formidible Amstrad CPC 464 ((with a green Screen)they claimed at the time that Green was better for your eyes then black and white, but it was probably just cheaper to make!)
later came the Sega Master System, By far my favourite game was’Safari Hunt! you used a ‘light gun’ to shoot ducks etc on the screen. this prompted my firt hardware hack. moving the electronics of the light gun (a futuristic target pistol) into the body of a brocken air rifle for a more ‘realistic feel’

Sega MegaDrive brought Sonic and ‘Senna’ awesome game!!
Later I had a philips CDi player but that console was a fail with no decent games. but its ‘cousin’ the Sony playstation brought the ultimate “Game Changer” (excuse the pun)Gran tourismo 1. never before had the world seen such realistic graphics and simulation!!
later gaming on PC I feel ‘X3 reunion’ ‘Battlefield 1942′ ‘and the total war series are worth a mention. and back to consoles with xbox 360’s ‘Farcry’ and ‘kudos?’

So what games would I take on my desert island……. you know what? I realy dont know! There is so much variety available now and I can get frustrated whan I get stuck in a game or complete it to easily so…….. maybe id just take a pc with a internet connection a credit card and a steam account.
